ABSTRACT
Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high resolution, three-dimensional gradient echo T 2* sequence magnetic resonance technique. It uses the different susceptibilities between tissues to display the susceptibility image, which is extremely sensitive to paramagnetic substance such as deoxyhemoglobin and blood breakdown substances. In the acute stage of ischemic stroke, SWI can effectively evaluate the severity of the disease, guide the treatment plan, and predict the clinical outcome. This article reviews the research progress of SWI in the acute phase of ischemic stroke.
ABSTRACT
Vascular recanalization is an important treatment method for acute ischemic stroke. Antiplatelet drugs combined with intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy have become the research hotspots in recent years. Platelet glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa receptor antagonist is a new class of antiplatelet drugs that work by inhibiting the last common pathway in the platelet aggregation process. Its safety and effectiveness in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome have been proven, but its application in patients with acute ischemic stroke is still in the exploratory stage. This article reviews the application of tirofiban in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke reperfusion.
